NEW saints of Antinous were announced by the Hollywood Temple of Antinous tonight during Foundation Day ceremonies shared globally with worshipers in North America, South America, Europe and Asia via Zoom.
Foundation Day commemorates the founding of the city of Antinoopolis by Emperor Hadrian on 30 October 130 AD on the shores of the Nile where Antinous died a few days earlier.
That was 1,893 years ago, and Foundation Day marks the beginning of our liturgical calendar ... Happy New Year 1893!
After weeks of deliberations, FLAMEN ANTONIUS SUBIA announced the following New Year's List of SAINTS OF ANTINOUS for the new liturgical year.
SAINTS OF ANTINOUS
KENNETH ANGER one of America's first openly gay filmmakers, died May 11th 2023 of natural causes. He was 96. Anger began making films as a teenager, and his surreal, homoerotic 1947 short film Fireworks is considered by many to be the first gay narrative film made in the United States. His other works include Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954), Invocation of My Demon Brother (1969), and Lucifer Rising (1972). He's also remembered for authoring Hollywood Babylon, a collection of sordid tales about the early years of Hollywood that, despite being widely disputed, remain infamous and influential.
JEAN-DANIEL CADINOT French filmmaker. Just as Divine redefined drag artistry, Cadinot redefined gay filmmaking. Cadinot crafted films with imaginative story lines and subtle humor.
BAYARD RUSTIN (August 24, 1987) was an African-American leader in social movements for civil rights, social reform, nonviolence, and gay rights. Rustin worked with A. Philip Randolph on the March on Washington Movement, in 1941, to press for an end to racial discrimination in employment. Rustin later organized Freedom Rides, and helped to organize the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to strengthen Martin Luther King Jr.'s leadership. During the 1970s and 1980s, Rustin served on many humanitarian missions, such as aiding refugees from Vietnam and Cambodia. At the time of his death in 1987, he was on a humanitarian mission in Haiti. President Barack Obama posthumously awarded Rustin the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
